Under the sacrificial platform, outside the guards' handles, the people were densely crowded, and many old people explained their sacrificial ceremonies to the children beside them, showing off that they were fortunate enough to see the last sacrificial ceremony, but there were also many young people who tried hard to bend their bodies and wanted to see more carefully.

"You say, I'm not mistaken. Isn't that supposed to be the witch's possession? Why did the witch let his daughter take it?" one of the people wondered, and suddenly noticed that something was not quite right.

"You stupid, isn't this, isn't it that the witch envoy doesn't have extra hands?" The other common man honestly didn't see what was happening on the thirty-seven steps, but he didn't want to admit it.

"Yes, eh, but this one dripping blood, isn't it, supposed to be the blood of a wizard? Why, using that little girl's blood?" the man saw a strange scene in his eyes.

"This, it's all her daughter anyway, isn't the blood the same?"

"Oh, too. “

The sacrificial ceremony has always been the coronation of the Taiping Emperor's enthronement, which is nothing more than sacrificing to heaven and earth and praying for the safety of the Taiping state. Then the sorcerer dripped blood like tea, and exchanged the blood tea of the two emperors with each other, indicating that they would never betray.

And now in the sacrificial ceremony, it is this step and the last step that is complete, and the elderly father-in-law of Yanzi trembles, but he still completes this last set of processes alone.

He placed the golden knife inlaid with the blue bird and the jade dragon in the hands of the emperor and the new witch envoy on the plate of the little eunuch behind him.

Father-in-law Yanzi sighed with affection, used all the strength in his old body, and shouted hard towards the bottom of the thirty-seven steps: "The ceremony is over, welcome the new emperor to the throne." “

In an instant, the ministers under the sacrificial stage congratulated, and all the people cheered.

Yes, the end of this sacrificial ceremony can be regarded as the beginning.

Heralding the beginning of a new dynasty.

On the top of the thirty-seven steps, Long Xiang was standing in front of the sacrificial platform, receiving the congratulations of the ministers and the admiration of all the people.

Long Xiang turned his face slightly, and he could see from the corner of his eye that the new witch envoy behind him was looking at him with burning eyes.

This is the future, the witch envoy who will always accompany him, the corner of Long Xiang's mouth pulled a smile, he turned his head again, he never thought that this witch envoy seemed to be like this, no wonder, his father would be so concerned, if it was a few years later, I was afraid that he might not be able to resist it.

What does the future look like?

Until the end of this sacrificial ceremony, not many people really watched the content of the sacrifice seriously, and more just wanted to be happy, and the ministers who performed the ceremony were estimated to be relieved at this time, after all, they had been bent for several hours. Moreover, what they deserve the most attention to is not the sacrificial ceremony that reverses this process backwards, but the next one, the marriage.

To put it bluntly, it is the new witch envoy who chooses the next one according to the mandate of heaven, who can stand side by side with the emperor, the queen of the mother.

In the Taiping Palace, the ministers were lined up on both sides, "Congratulations to the new emperor on his ascension to the throne, and wish Taiping eternal peace and health." In an instant, the ministers on both sides shouted in unison, and there was no agreement between them, but they shouted out neatly. This sentence echoed back and forth in the huge Taiping Palace, and did not stop for a long time, Long Xiang lifted the placket, and in this echo, Long Xiang sat on the dragon chair.

The cold feeling from the bottom made Long Xiang shake all over, and in this long-lasting echo, there was a strange feeling in his heart, he couldn't help but turn the wrench on his thumb, and he suddenly felt that he was no longer so simple as himself, and what he was carrying was a country called Taiping.

Long Xiang nodded to Yanzi's father-in-law, who was supported by two little eunuchs beside him.

Father-in-law Yanzi took a small step forward, walked to the edge of the steps one floor below the dragon chair, and shouted to the bottom: "Identify the emperor and queen ceremony, please, the witch envoy will take the throne." “

The ministers who stood up on both sides immediately lowered their heads, showing their respect for the witch envoy, and they looked at the floor in unison, but the corner of their eyes was staring at the floor covered with red carpet, waiting for the arrival of the new witch envoy.

Several little eunuchs walked neatly into the hall with lanterns, and the lanterns in their hands were not used for lighting in the middle of the day, but more to imply the everlasting lantern.

Then the little eunuch walked to both sides, and the gorgeous woman held the eight-year-old girl in her arms, twisting her waist from the middle, and her face was full of beauty, and she walked to the three steps in the hall in a moving manner, and slowly stepped up, and walked to the next step in front of the dragon chair.

Father-in-law Yanzi saw that the witch envoy was already in his position, and then shouted: "Xuan, twelve show girls." “

The little eunuch who led the way walked out of the Taiping Hall with a lantern, replaced by two palace maids, one after the other, and walked into the Taiping Hall with twelve beautiful women with different appearances.

Twelve women were lined up side by side in the Taiping Palace, all of them were blessed, with their heads half-in their mouths, so that the emperor on the steps could clearly see his appearance, but he was not tactful. Of course, there is no lack of boldness in this, raising his head slightly, hoping that the emperor can pay more attention to himself.

All of a sudden, different aromas were intertwined with each other, different styles, and different types of girls all dazzled the palace people present for a while, and it was also true that for a hundred years, only the new emperor had such a grand scene when he ascended the throne.

The twelve girls on the Taiping Palace, each of them are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, each of them is outstanding in Taiping, and more importantly, they can stand here, each of them has an extraordinary background. or the daughter of an official eunuch, or the daughter of a rich man, or the family is rich and rivals the country, or the family holds great power, or has read poetry and books since childhood, or leads a hundred birds from a small piano.

Who the emperor is means what the emperor relies on. Therefore, the ministers in the hall are waiting to see, who is the future emperor and queen, and where will the center of gravity of power be shifted in the future?

Long Xiang stretched out his hand to put his face on the side, he looked at the twelve girls in the Taiping Palace, and he suddenly felt bored. Those girls are really outstanding, for Long Xiang, who has just taken over the business, he is not much interested in beauty, or perhaps, he didn't find what he wanted, a woman who can be by his side and is qualified to stand by his side.

Long Xiang looked at the flattery of a slightly enthusiastic woman underneath him, but his heart was extremely ridiculous, after all, in the Taiping precedent, the emperor was not qualified to choose the emperor and queen, only the witch envoy, only the mandate of heaven, so this flattering eye was thrown wrong. At least not to himself, Long Xiang thought. However, Long Xiang was very curious, who will this new witch envoy choose to become the new emperor? Is it the eldest queen of the Wang family, and the daughter of a wealthy and powerful businessman? Or is it?

Thinking of this, Long Xiang couldn't help but cast his eyes on the new witch envoy in front of him. This time he turned his head, and his eyes turned to the eight-year-old girl in the arms of the beautiful woman.

The eyes are clear and deep, so calm that you can't see a single wave. Long Xiang was amazed that this girl had been looking at him, and he sighed that the girl's eyes could barely tell the age of eight years old.

The girl's mask was very ordinary, with a few simple strokes outlining a ghost-like pattern, without heavy color, and those who saw it felt less terrifying. The mask covers the tip of the nose, revealing the mouth.

Long Xiang couldn't see the young girl's expression through the mask, but from the corners of her mouth that were slightly raised, this young girl seemed to be smiling?

Why is she laughing? Long Xiang unexpectedly became interested in this question, and even more interested in this young girl.

"Ask the witch envoy to identify the emperor and queen. Father-in-law Yanzi spoke again. After speaking, the twelve girls bowed their heads in unison, and the little eunuch behind them gave the queen's phoenix crown and a gold ribbon embroidered with a phoenix. The golden ribbon is wrapped around the phoenix crown, hanging from both sides on the tray. The precious gems on it, the exquisite craftsmanship of the carving, and the rare ice toad gold wire make the whole phoenix crown dazzling.

"Please appoint the emperor and queen of the witch envoy. Father-in-law Yanzi stretched out his hand tremblingly and carefully handed it to the new witch envoy.

Now all the courtiers are paying attention to the choice of the beautiful girl in front of them, only Long Xiang, who is sitting on the dragon chair, looks at the young girl who is staring at the golden phoenix crown in front of him with interest.

Who will the new witch choose?

Long Xiang was extremely curious.

She likes things that glow?
